Curado

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Feb-14-06 AT 10:01AM (EST)[/font][p]You can get the new 2006 Curado for $160 on a Buy It Now auction on ebay. If you want to take your chances on regular auctions, I've seen 'em go for as low as $130.
That's not too bad considering they retail for $199.

I've got two being shipped to me right now; I'll probably add 3 or 4 more before the summer is over.

And you can get brand new 2005 or older models for way, way cheap.

Hey Nate. I have a Citica that is about 10 yrs old. It's been a pretty solid reel for me over the yrs. I've not really fished it hard but it's done well the times I've used it.

Let's hook up and fish a time or 2 this year. Hope you and your family are well.

smljaw,
What part of Fla. you going to this weekend? Are you going by yourself or using a guide?

Dick,s in Lexington still has some of the left handed 200.

I was just at Flipper's Bait and Tackle in Gallatin, TN on Old Hickory Lake 2 days ago and he still had a few of them left in the 6.2 ratio's for $119. He runs a great shop and will ship it to you. These are new reels, however he had used ones as well. His website is [url]http://www.flippers1.com/[/url].

By the way, I also looked at the Citca's while I was there and they are not the quality of the old Curado's. Take off the brake cover and you will see the difference. The brakes look weak. I am really disapointed with Shimano. They shouldn't have messed with a good thing and the fact that the new Curado is $80 more is wrong, becasue it doesn't seem like $80 worth better. Good luck!

hait, ready to go when you are. give me a call. you know leatherwood...

I was in BullFrog Creek in Louisville today and he still had a couple.
